just a thought from a wondering mind

hey stranger! i caught you doing that. you shouldn't have, now i have to blog about you. but recently i;ve been noticing queues of people changing their old EZ link cards for new ones at the very last few days. oh my, this notification was given months ago and why are you people have to be so lazy to go change then, look what happens now, 30-people-long queues at various Mrt stations ticket office. why do people procrastinate? is there a reason? i mean. if you went to change the card earlier you wouldnt need to spend an hour or so queueing up. you actually save time. im sure many of you already know that. so why?, whats the main reason. i have propositions. hmmm... is it because of the recent COE cut of 10%? people suddenly realise that they may not be able to drive at such a low cost anymore and thus they realised that their old EZ link cards had tons of money inside that needs to be transferred to the new one. i need to prove this conjecture but since 10% of people are less likely to travel in cars(based on the assumption that every one has access to a car) and there are 4.99million people living here now, there will be an increase of approximately 500000 people using public transport and divide that by 50 Mrt stations, assuming there are that many, there are average of 10k people that may be queing up since the cut of COE which is last friday. i hope that from now on there will be more busses and the public transport will come at more regular intervals now that we are being pushed to having less cars on the road. already in the mornings i see people squeezing their way up the bus. what will the situation be like few days or weeks from now, when the impact of increasing COE process will be felt. i just wonder. just wondering in my non-linear mind.

this is what you do when your too free
